Slowly Learning...

I figured this movie had to be decent when I got to the theatre and the line to get in was out the door (this was the Little Theatre screen 1, so all of the people in line were there for this movie) and I was not disappointed. There really isn't any aspect of the film that I can say was bad. The acting was stellar between Ellen Page, Michael Cera, Jason Bateman, and J.K. Simmons. I even felt Jennifer Garner (who I greatly dislike) was perfectly cast. The pacing was fantastic, the music was beautiful, everything just worked. My mother had expressed interest in seeing the movie but couldn't go tonight, and I walked out thinking that if she wanted to go tomorrow night I would go with her. I'd even be willing to pay for both of us. I enjoyed it that much. And I would expect that anyone else would too. As much as I have decided that I don't like comparing movies (unless there is a direct connection), I have to say that it had that Little Miss Sunshine feel, yet with something more.

So with lack of complaints there is not a whole lot to go into, but I did check out the writer Diablo Cody's biography on imdb. She is quite interesting to say the least. Definitely someone that I'd love to hang out with and get to know better.\

RATING: Worth waiting in the cold to pay extra to see; Skip the Netflix, just buy it on DVD.
